Turner Syndrome 

One day I was minding my own business and then all of the sudden I got put into this foreign place. I was looking for my other X chromosome because she’s my best friend but I couldn’t find her. I needed to find her because the gender of the baby will be a  girl. If I cant find my friend X there will be only one X (me) and without her this will turn into Turner Syndrome! If there are no two X sex chromosomes then how can this baby be a normal healthy girl? Me and my friend X have a meeting spot called the egg, I’ve been waiting her for a while so I’m guessing that there is a error in the egg. If this couple wants a baby I have to go on without her. My typical gene wont look the same as the rest of them my gene will look shorter and I will stick out from the
rest of the genes! Im probably going to get bullied because its very obvious that I look different and Ill have no friends because X was my only friend. With all of these setbacks I’m going to be called Turner syndrome, all of the other genes are going to chant my name “Turner Syndrome” when I try to hang out with them. Another problem I have to worry about are these people in white lab coats that are always trying to abduct me because I’m “different” but I don’t think i’ll have to worry about it because I’m pretty hard to get rid of and the people in the white lab coats cant get rid of me! Unfortunately Im going to have to live my life knowing what I was forced into doing to my host. Abby is the name of my host and she has to grow up shorter than the usual human being and she cant have any kids of her own. Everyday she will have to go to school and face the bullies that are making fun of her webbed neck, droopy eyelids,her unevenly shaped ears, her  abnormal bone development, and on top of all that she could have a learning disability or high blood pressure, maybe even kidney failure! I know Abby will have two loving parents and a good home. Luckily she comes from a loving family so I know she will have a lot of support no matter how rough her life is. I wish I could do something to help her but its all my friend X’s fault its heartbreaking how your closest friends can turn their backs on you and ditch you at the time you need them the most.

Google is a familiar search engine I use almost everyday so it wasn’t challenging for me to use it. I tried using youtube to help me find information about Turner Syndrome  and it helped me to add to me story because it gave me a visual representation and it made it easier to write about because I could picture it in my head while writing my story.

The process I used to investigate my syndrome was first I asked my self what is Turner syndrome and and from there I wrote my story I answered some of the basic questions someone would ask like how is it formed and what are the side effects. To verify my information on this syndrome I visited multiple websites to compare information and made sure everything was true. I compared youtube videos to websites and everything I watched or read was the same on every website or video.

What I could’ve done better was I could’ve searched more pictures of the gene so I knew what it actually looked like I could’ve wrote a story web and wrote down all of my ideas before writing. Overall the process of writing my story went well and I didn’t have any troubles finding information about Turner Syndrome.
